The Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles — formerly the Santa Monica Museum of Art — inaugurates its downtown L.A. home with the extraordinary drawings of self-taught artist Martín Ramírez (1895-1963). A Mexican immigrant institutionalized for schizophrenia — perhaps falsely — at DeWitt State Hospital in Northern California, Ramirez made powerful linear drawings on big sheets of examining-table paper. ICA L.A., 1717 E. 7th St., L.A. (310) 284-8100. www.theicala.org
The Hammer Museum has an excellent track record in advancing scholarship related to art made by women. This sprawling show will look at more than 100 Latin American women and U.S. Latinas working in 15 countries during a period of profound social upheaval and artistic transformation. Hammer, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Westwood. (310) 443-7000. www.hammer.ucla.edu
